We know q man that found fault be-
cause there was dish rag and five OF
six long hairs in u roll of butter he
recently purchashed. Some men are
hard to satisfy. Just now when no
one is able to tell whether the present
crop will be success or failure man
should not expect horse and carriage
and yellow dog in roll of butter

Browns Valley Reporter: During
the storm Sunday night the residence
of Mr.. Dean, of the town of Arthur,
was struck by lightning. The fluid
entered the building by the chimney
route, demolishing that structure,
smashing the stove-pipe, carromed
on the floor, ripping up several boards
and passed out without doing any in
Jury to the inmates of the house.
A we'll known firm Ill town has
recently shipped two car loads OF
farm machinery, over the Milwaukee
road to Graceville, that is to be dis
tributed among farmers living in
territory naturally tributary to this
place. Twenty dollars per car was
saved by so doing. Fortunately there
are other roads in the country and the
Manitoba can be cheated of a part OF
its prey.
About this time it becomes neces-
sary to remind the thirst tortured in
dividual that glass of cool water,
not ice water, is the most delicious,
grateful and gratifying beverage that
a person can take in hot weather, be-
sides costing nothing and leading to
no bad habits. Men in glass factories
where the heat is fearful, drink water
only, not iced, and are healthy and
vigorous.
Inter Lake Tribune: Facts have
lately been given to the public which
show that some of our near farmer
neIghbors were taken in by the cloth
peddIer or swindler who visited this
section some two or three weeks ago.
The people of Minnesota and Dakota
have been sufficiently warned by the
newspapers to steer clear of all men
trayeIing through the country, who
claim to offer great bargains to the
horny-handed .grangers and we
hay'nt the least bit of sympathy for
those who nibble at the swindler's
bait and get pulled in. The men
who will not patronize home enter
prise, by buying goods of home dealers
and subscribing for their local papers
ought to lose every cent he has. Show
us the men who are always biting al
swlndler's game and nine times out
of ten you can set those fellows dowr
as the very men who do not take
their home papeE-Buy goods from
home merchants subscribe for YOU

Some time ago House & oungquls
received a car load of farm machinery
from st Paul over the Manitoba road
The car contained 10 farm wagons
6 buggies, l spring wagon, feed mil
and 20 hay rakes. The total weigh
of everything in the car was II ,43'
pounds. To illustrate the ways whic
the Manitoba can devise for squeezing
money from machinery and othe
dealers and through them from the
farmers ofthe county, we give TN
manner Of billing and the .treigh
charges. Withoutright or reason tn
company arbitrarily estimated tn
weight of the wagons and buggies t.
be 20, 900 lbs, $50 lbs more than tn
weight Of everything in the car
and charged the regular car load rate
or $500 upon these two items alone
The company then estimated tn
weight of the feed mill and the ha.
rakes, and in addition to the charg
above mentioned which covers tn
full cost of full car from st. Paul t
Morris, charged local rate of 1872
upon these other articles, making
total of 500, 20 apd giving the compan
both car load and local rate upo
merchandise in single car. Objec
tions were useless and Housed Young
quist had to pay the double charg
and advance the selling price of th
machinery accordingly. This is bt
a specimen of what is being dor
every day. Hoy do the people III
: it and what do they propose to
: about it,?
